Simplification has a bottom line. Not all life and affairs can be simplified, so the premise of simplification should be considered first. First, "simplification" should keep what you need. Simplification always involves discussion of the bottom line. What kind of life is the simplest? Although some people will advise us to quit from some areas of life, "simplification" has a bottom line, and we can't omit those parts that are necessary for individuals. The first, second and fifth standards will take the "Dink" phenomenon as an example, but they are also universal to other phenomena. Some dinks voluntarily don't have children, hoping to bring more convenience to life. However, a survey conducted by the Social Investigation Center of China Youth Daily in 2007 shows that even if it is possible, most people are still unwilling to choose this method. The survey found that among the 2,685 participants, although 86.3% thought children were a burden; But only 1.6% people made it clear that they would definitely not have children. This shows that fertility and reproduction are still the desires of most people. Although children are a burden (45.2% people think it is a heavy burden), most people in China still think that children are an indispensable part of "happiness". Therefore, for most people, "children" are an indispensable part. Second, "simplification" should respect the "differences" between individuals. The standard of simplification varies from person to person, and there are individual differences. What is necessary for some people may be omitted for you. For example, some religious people in the society, as well as a small number of single people with double income and no children, have chosen to quit some areas of their lives and give up marriage or having children, thus reducing the possible troubles and making today's family types and social structures increasingly diversified. If someone thinks that everyone must be suitable for "getting married and having children", then the differences between individuals are not fully respected. Third, "simplification" must meet the standards of "nature" and "ease", otherwise it will be difficult to last. For example, when we just clean the room, it will look very neat. However, after a while, chaos began again. The reason may be that we don't take care of the needs of daily life and put all the things we use frequently in the cupboard, so it is difficult to keep it clean for a long time. Fourth, "simplification" cannot be changed too much or too drastically. After simplification, people will not feel great discomfort. Our life should be relatively stable, and we should strive for "stability and change" instead of drastic and leaping changes. Fifth, the effect of simplification should be evaluated as a whole. We can't simplify some parts and make others more complicated. Otherwise, it is not "simplification" but "complication" in disguise. For example, for a small number of people who are unwilling to give birth in society, although the burden of children is "simplified", it may also make the problem of providing for the elderly more complicated. So Dink's life has both advantages and disadvantages, which is suitable for everyone. We should have a comprehensive consideration of life and evaluate the effect of simplification as a whole. Sixth, "simplification" is for your own life. "Minimalism" itself is only an ultimate goal or trend, not a fixed ruler, nor a definite and the same standard suitable for measuring everyone. We can't say whose life and what kind of life can be called "minimalist life". In fact, everyone's life is hard to compare with others'. But we can say that your life has been simplified as much as possible compared with the busy life before, and it can't be simplified any more. This is the "minimalist life".
